Answer

$\dfrac{28}{25}-\dfrac{21}{25}i$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator of $ \dfrac{7}{4+3i} $ results to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{7}{4+3i} \cdot \dfrac{4-3i}{4-3i} \\\\= \dfrac{28-21i}{(4)^2-(3i)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{28-21i}{16-9i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{28-21i}{16-9(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{28-21i}{25} \\\\= \dfrac{28}{25}-\dfrac{21}{25}i .\end{array}
